Title: Method of manufacturing electrical cartridge fuselinks and fuselinks manufactured by the method
Inventor: WOZNICA KAZIMIERZ WLADYSLAW
IPC: H01H85/02
Filed: 1980-11-25
Abstract: A fuse element for an electrical cartridge fuse comprises a fusible wire secured to opposite end zones of an insulating strip by metallic layers sprayed onto the end zones. The insulating strip has a slot therein between the end zones to prevent the fusible, central section of the wire from contacting the strip. The fuse element is disposed in an insulating barrel and the layers are soldered to end caps of the barrel to connect the fusible wire thereto. Fuse elements of this construction are produced by disposing a fusible wire along a continuous strip of insulating material formed at equally spaced intervals with slots and spraying the metallic layers onto the strip between the slots so as to adhere the fusible wire to the strip. Thereafter, the strip is severed at the zones between the slots so as to produce individual fuse elements. This method of manufacture facilitates the production of cartridge fuses utilizing small diameter fusible wires.

Title: Refuse-collecting vehicle
Inventor: BEHLING HANS-JUERGEN
IPC: B65F3/02
Filed: 1988-08-09
Abstract: In refuse vehicles having a refuse-filling system arranged behind the driver's cab, an adjacent refuse-compressing device and a refuse-collecting container arranged behind the latter, it was hitherto not possible to achieve adequate compression of the filled refuse inside the refuse-collecting container, resulting in insufficient utilisation of said container. 
<??>In the case of the invention, there is arranged in the range of action of the refuse-compressing device a counterpressure plate which can be subjected to a pressing force and is mounted in a radially swivellable manner on the ceiling of the refuse-collecting container, said plate forming a counterpressure element for the filled refuse. In this way it is possible to compress, in a uniform manner, the refuse filled into the refuse-collecting container from the start of refuse feeding until said container is completely full and thus an increased utilisation or useful load of the refuse vehicle can be achieved.

Granted: 2008-06-25
Abstract: A method of incorporating a mark of origin, such as a brand mark, or fingerprint in a CVD single crystal diamond material, includes the steps of providing a diamond substrate, providing a source gas dissociating the source gas thereby allowing homoepitaxial diamond growth, and introducing in a controlled manner a dopant into the source gas in order to produce the mark of origin or fingerprint in the synthetic diamond material.

Patent GB-2095390-B (GB)
Title: Low pollution method of burning fuels
IPC: F23L7/00
Filed: 1981-03-24
Granted: 1984-11-21
Abstract: A low pollution method of burning a fuel comprises gasifying the fuel in a gasifier bed containing particles which are fluidized by a fluidizing gas containing substantially no inert components. The resulting combustible gas is burned with air diluted with nitrogen to reduce NOx formation. In addition, NOx production from the nitrogen content of the fuel is reduced as a result of the gasification of the fuel to combustible gas before combustion with air. Preferably the gasifier bed contains CaO to fix sulfur from the fuel as CaS. In one embodiment, the gasifier bed (51) contains CaSO4 and the fluidizing gas contains H2, inter alia, which mediates the transfer to the fuel of chemically-bound oxygen from the CaSO4 (which is thereby reduced to CaS). Particles containing CaS are passed to an oxidizer bed (72) wherein they are fluidized by air. The CaS is exothermically oxidized to CaSO4 by extracting oxygen from the air which is thereby heated and substantially exhausted of oxygen. The hot CaSO4 is transferred from the oxidizer bed (72) to the gasifier bed (51) for gasifying further amounts of fuel, and the hot oxygen-depleted air is cooled by heat exchange (in 80) with boiler feed water, and then added to combustion air (in 69) to reduce the peak flame temperature when the combustible gas is burned at the burner (56) thereby mitigating NOx production from reactions in the flame between oxygen and nitrogen from the atmosphere. Because the fuel is gasified in the absence of diluents, the gasifier bed (51), combustible gas conduit (55), the burner (56) and gas circulation fans are of reduced sizes. The low pollution combustion of the fuel necessitates no modification of the furnace or boiler (84) and results in no increase in its operating costs or reduction in efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention provides absorbent articles, such as disposable diapers, which utilize substantially water-insoluble hydrogel material to enhance the absorbent capacity of such articles. In these articles, the hydrogel material, combined in particulate form with hydrophilic fiber material, is primarily placed in a lower fluid storage layer of the absorbent core of the article. Such a fluid storage lower layer of the absorbent core is placed underneath an upper, preferably larger, fluid acquisition/distribution layer containing little or no hydrogel. This lower fluid storage layer is positioned in such a manner that at least about 75% of the hydrogel in the lower layer is found in the front two-thirds of the absorbent article and such that at least about 55% of the hydrogel in the lower layer is found in the front half of the absorbent article. Absorbent articles of this type make especially effective and efficient use of the hydrogel material and may also provide a diaper rash control benefit. Absorbent cores of the type utilized in such articles are also disclosed.
